Soul Sweep: June 8, 2013...

We're at the "hump" of today's "chart sweeps" checking out the songs reaching the weekly singles charts in Billboard magazine, and now I've got the latest on R&B radio...

On the main R&B/HipHop Airplay list, rapper Wale hangs in at #1 with "Bad" featuring Tiara Thomas...

Wale also can celebrate for having the top debut at #43 with its followup, "Love/Hate Thing" featuring Sam Dew. It's my "Soul Pick of the Week"...(NSFW)

The other entry at #50 is newcomer August Alsina with "I Luv This Sh*t" featuring Trinidad James (NSFW natch)...

Meanwhile, over on the Adult R&B chart, Tamar Braxton is at #1 (dot com) for an eighth week with "Love And War"....

The single debut on this format is recently-departing American Idol judge Mariah Carey at #28 with "#Beautiful" feautring Miguel (who still is at #2 with "Adorn" in his 43rd week!)...

That's a wrap on the soul side of the house...I'll be back in 90 with the newest on country radio. Groove on!
